GREENE BOTTLERECORDSIndependent label: Greene Bottle Records was An American
company, apparently part of the Famous / Gulf + Western group. Greene
Bottle was owned by Charles Greene, who acted as producer as well as label boss.
The company doesn't seem to have issued more than a dozen records in the States,
and it issued only two in Britain: an album by John Lee Hooker ('John Lee, Vol.
1'; GN-4002). Greene Bottle never issued any singles over here: some were
planned, but never got beyond the planning stage? it's an unusual label
with an interesting design, Greene Bottle came on the scene in Britain in 1972;
Famous / G+W disappeared in 1974, and Greene Bottle seems to have disappeared
along with it. Manufacture and distribution were by
EMI. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
